This is on our way from Port Royal Marina to Downtown Beaufort marina for the Parade of boats contest. We had about 20 boats in the parade and about 1000 people at the waterfront in downtown Beaufort. It was chilly but not windy and very tolerable weather. The boats were really festive and we had a great time with our hosts Michele, Captain Gene and their daughter Alex. We arranged for Susan and Erik our friends we met from LiveAboard to come aboard and enjoy the evening. After the parade, the local Power Squadron had hot chili and hot dogs at the boaters deck at Port Royal Landing Marina.
